FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a kind of adornment, and more particularly to a kind of human-shaped adornment.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

All kinds of adornments, including some human-shaped adornments are widely used in festivals. However, as some human-shaped adornments, they are not convenient to be transported and deposited for their huge size.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

To overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, the object of the invention is to provide a human-shaped adornment which can be furled and has a simple, novelty structure.

A human-shaped adornment comprises a supporting holder, which comprising a base and a supporting component; and a spiraled frame having a same axis with the supporting component. The spiraled frame comprises a plurality of rings, which outline along its axis direction is a curve which is constituted by three arcs smoothly connecting with each other in a predetermined sequence; wherein the center of the three arcs are on a same line and their diameters gradually increase from top to bottom; the spiraled frame connecting with the supporting component through a connector having a plurality of connecting strings connected therewith for keeping the space between every two rings of the spiraled frame; wherein the connecting strings sequentially connects with each ring of the spiraled frame from top to bottom.

The supporting component further comprises another several connectors in predetermined positions thereof, and each of the connectors is connected with the ring of the spiraled frame on a position corresponding to the position thereof. Each of the connectors comprises a pothook having a through hole in an end and a hook in the other end, and a cross-shaped component coupled to the supporting component; the cross-shaped component comprising a plurality of slot-shaped extensions extending radially; each of the slot-shaped extensions having a through hole formed therein; a peg extending through both the through holes in the slot-shaped extension and the pothook; the hook of the pothook coupled to the ring of the spiraled frame.

The spiraled frame is made from metal wire which is twisted by two groups of metal silks. A PVC thin bar is sandwiched between the two groups of metal silks. The spiraled frame is enlaced with cluster lamps.

Comparing with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

-   -   (1) Using the knowledge of the furled spiral, the spiraled frame         can be taken down and furled when transporting and depositing,         so as to reduce the volume of the human-shaped adornment;     -   (2) the invention can be used widely, not only for large         human-shaped adornment, but for small size one.     -   (3) the human-shaped adornment of the invention has a simple         structure and a low manufacturing cost.

For the purpose of making the invention easier to understand, several particular embodiments thereof will now be described with reference to the appended drawings in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Referring to FIG. 1, a human-shaped adornment of the present invention comprises a supporting holder 1 and a spiraled frame 2. The supporting holder 1 comprises a base 11 and a supporting component 12. The supporting component 12 can be engaged with the base 11 when it is used, and can be taken out of the base 11 when it is unused. The supporting component 12 can be formed by assembling several supporting poles, or only constituted by a single supporting pole. A plurality of rolling wheels can be mounted on bottom of the base 11 in order to freely move the human-shaped adornment. The spiraled frame 2 has a same axis with the supporting component 12. The spiraled frame 2 has a curve-shaped outline along its axis direction which is constituted by three arcs smoothly connecting with each other in a predetermined sequence. The centers of the three arcs are on a same line and their diameters gradually increase from top to bottom. The three arcs are all obtuse angle arcs.

Referring to FIG. 1, according to a first embodiment of the invention, a connector 3 is mounted on the top of the supporting component 12 by a center hole therein, which can be taken away therefrom when necessary. The connector 3 is disk-shaped. The top of the spiraled frame 2 is welded to the connector 3. In order to prevent the spiral frame 2 from distortion in an extending status under the effect of the gravity, it is necessary to use the connecting strings 4 to connect the rings of the spiraled frame 2 in sequence in order to keep the distance between every two rings. The connecting strings 4 connect with the connector 3 by through holes formed in the top of the connector 3. The amount of the connecting strings 4 is determined according to the size and weight of the spiraled frame 2. In a preferred embodiment, the amount of the connecting strings is eight.

In addition, there are two additional connectors 5 fixed on predetermined positions of the supporting component 12, as shown in FIG. 3. Each of the connectors 5 comprises a cross-shaped component 51 and a pothook 53 having a through hole in an end and a hook 532 in the other end. The cross-shaped component 51 is a punched component with a central hole, by which the connector 5 is coupled to the supporting component 12. The cross-shaped component 51 also has a plurality of, such as eight, slot-shaped extension 511 extending radially. Each of the slot-shaped extensions 511 has a through hole formed therein; a peg 52 extends through both the through holes in the slot-shaped extension 511 and the pothook 53; the hook 532 of the pothook 53 coupled to the ring of the spiraled frame 2, a detailed structure of the pothook 53 is shown in FIG. 4.

FIG. 2 is a structural sketch drawing of a second embodiment of the human-shaped adornment, which has a similar structure with the first embodiment of the invention. The differences between the two embodiments are as follows: firstly, the first arc of the outline of the spiraled frame 2 along its axis direction is an acute angle arc, and the other two arcs thereof are obtuse angle arc, which is suitable for the condition that head of the human-shaped adornment is solely made. Under this circumstance, it is unnecessary to make a top sprial consisting of the rings. However, in order to enable the solely-made head to fit for the spiraled frame 2 in token of human body of the human-shaped adornment, a part of spiral (the first acute arc) is added to keep the more steady occludent on the said spiraled ring holder 2.

In addition, the connector 3 of the second embodiment has another structure to fit for the large top ring of the spiraled frame 2. Referring to FIG. 5, the structure of the connector 3 is familiar to that of the connector 5. The difference therebetween is an iron wire 31 instead of a peg to extend through the through hole of the slot-shaped extension 511 and be coupled to the top ring of the spiral frame 2 after the iron wire 31 is enlaced. The connector 3 are connected with the connecting strings 4 as follows: each of the connecting strings 4 threads through the center hole of the cross-shaped component 51 and bonded therewith, and then connects with the rings of the spiraled frame 2.

The spiraled frame 2 is made from metal wire which is twisted by two groups of metal silks. A PVC thin bar is sandwiched between the two groups of metal silks so as to imitate the appearance of the human. Then, the spiraled frame 2 is enlaced with cluster lamps, thus a glistening human-shaped adornment is attained.
